While cookbooks are not a suitable format for every technology out there, it certainly works for ElasticSearch, as it has so many features to write about.The book covers everything from setting up and configuring a single server or a cluster, working with the REST API (along with good recommendations on plugins to make your life more comfortable) as well as short examples in Python and Java to get you comfortable transforming your knowledge in REST interface to programming languages.Recipes represent common tasks you will encounter while working with ES, thus it serves as a good reference book after you've finished reading it.The 2nd edition of the book is updated for ElasticSearch v.1.4.x, the chapter on aggregations is worth the price tag alone.I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to quickly master ElasticSearch and is having problems in finding his way through the official documentation.

Prior to this book, my ElasticSearch knowledge had been cobbled together by updating existing queries, reading a few blog posts, and a healthy amount of documentation skimming. This book seemed promising, especially as a desk-side reference. What I got was so much more.Unlike most of the "cookbooks" I've read, it opens with a well-paced introduction to ElasticSearch, spending a little time focusing on internals (e.g. routing) so that when they're fully discussed in later chapters, readers will already be conversant in some of the concepts. This was the ES tutorial I needed.Then, once it gets into the advanced application portions, it pays off again. ElasticSearch has gained new features over the past few years. Due to their newness, the available documentation (beyond what Elastic provides) is fairly sparse. The ElasticSearch cookbook does a good job of nailing those parts down, especially the chapters on aggregations and scripting.Overall, I'd recommend this book for anyone developing with (or on) ElasticSearch. It's an invaluable resource.

Unlike ‘Mastering ElasticSearch’, which is mostly a complete reference to the product, this book introduces a hands-on introduction to ElasticSearch. This book is not a pageturner, but to understand everything that’s inside, it should be read with a computer nearby. The contents of every chapter is divided in a more or less repeating fashion with following sections: ‘Getting ready’, ‘How to do it’, ‘How it works'; making it easy to read and understand. Accompanied with lots of code samples, you should gain enough insights to use ElasticSearch as a product for as well personal as professional use.

Recommended reading for everyone using or planning to use ElasticSearch. This book combines a hands on approach with a broad spectrum of ElasticSearch features discussed. I'm a heavy user of ElasticSearch and I wish I've read this book earlier.
